Tasia’s Elegant Musings

Hello everyone! Today I’m the guest of honor at Casey’s Elegant Musings. She’s off enjoying a little holiday break, so I’ve stepped in with a guest post. Today’s topic: what inspired me to start Sewaholic Patterns. Curious to hear the answer? Visit her site and check it out!

And while you’re there, take a look through Casey’s beautiful blog. She has a pretty vintage style, and makes the loveliest creations! After a read-through, you may feel the urge to wear red lipstick and curl your hair before donning your favourite vintage dress and heels.

Have a great Monday and I’ll be back here tomorrow!

About Tasia

I'm Tasia St. Germaine, and I'm the founder of Sewaholic Patterns. I began blogging as a creative outlet back in 2010, and started Sewaholic Patterns shortly after. I write about sewing projects, post tutorials and sewing tips, and share what it's like behind the scenes of a growing sewing pattern company. I love cycling and commute to the studio by bike most days. When I'm not sewing, I enjoy knitting and love making cosy sweaters for our rainy Vancouver weather.

Just read your guest blog for Casey and loved learning about your inspiration. I loved it even more when I realised I had found a fellow pear-shaped girl who understood the slightly soul-crushing dilemma of ‘anything that fits my body won’t fit over my hips’!

In fact, that’s the main reason I (very recently) started sewing……and have started blogging to get as many hints and tips from everyone else as possible.

Thanks guys! Donna, it *is* soul-crushing when you can’t find a dress that fits. How about when the zipper doesn’t open far enough to squeeze into it? Terrible! That’s why we sew! There are sooo many amazing sewing blogs, full of tips and tutorials and inspiration to help you along the way. Happy sewing!
